Four Months Amyndeen

Happy fourth month Baby Amyndeen. Your chubby cheeks are just so irresistible for me not to kiss them. Daddy, Mommy and Kuya are all so happy seeing you grow everyday. We love your little voice now that we are starting to hear them from you. Those cooing, babbling and your laughter completes the joy in our home.

We did start our day with a DIY photoshoot for our little Amyn’s fourth month. My three boys and yes I am the only queen at home.(LOL)🤣

Ordered this cake from Euphoria Cravings.Please click the link for their FB profile.You’re welcome. It tasted divine. Devoured this cake the moment we were done with taking photos of it.

It’s best to pair it with coffee to balance the sweetness from the cake and the bitterness of the coffee paired with exchange of stories with your loved ones.🤣

How is it to have a new baby abroad? It is so challenging at first especially the newborn stage. The fact that we got no close family here except the four of us, we got nobody to ask help with when we were struggling.

I moaned sometimes about my difficulties but I have noticed that not everyone is willing to offer a kind ear to listen to my sentiments as a postpartum mother.So I learned to keep things to myself and only choose my people to whom I can express my raging hormones of coping during my down moments.🥲

It was tough! I cry a lot in silence for no reason. Writing this alone makes me emotional reminiscing what I have gone thru! I get angry to Mon ( the recepient of my unreasonable madness, bless him). I hated my physical pain of not being able to move when I wanted to due to my stitches. I was miserable silently but nobody could understood that because postpartum sadness is not so common to everyone.

I tried messaging our local midwife centre here in Hull regarding mental health assistance to new mums thinking I might go nuts if this continues. They were very helpful giving me hotlines where to go. Gladly, my hormones settled down and so as my mood swings, felt better after few months. Working in a health sector allows me to evaluate myself if I am still mentally functioning well or not. Thank God for that. If you have postpartum mothers be it your relative, family or friend, please check on them because who knows they might be suffering in silence needing our help before it’s too late for them.❤️

On the brighter note, we managed to prove to ourselves that we CAN surpass the ordeal with each other’s support. Mon and our Akyn, too helped to create a lot of adjustments when Amyn came to our family.

Sleepless nights, tiring long day of catching to finish all home chores, the never ending doctor’s appointment and the list continues are all worth it having Amyn to add more happiness to our growing little family. I wouldn’t change anything to our experience of having another baby here in the UK.

Not everyone is blessed to become a Mum as I always say in my blog. Becoming a mother of two when we least expected it, is a great blessing from God.
